New York, Oct. 18.—While an increase In the price of foodstuffs
amounting to 25 per cent picked the
pockets of New Yorkers today, many
grocers predicted another 25 percent
increase which will make many staple articles luxuries by spring. The
war is blamed. The allies are willing to pay such high prices for food
that wholesalers ship abroad, the grocers declare.
A short crop also is playing havoc
In the prices, and Canadian participation in the war is having its effect, for that British possession ls
sending all its surplus to feed the
great armies. High prices paid to
laborers in munition plants is taking
men from the farms and farmers are
forced to pay higher prices to harvest their crops. Speculators also

say.

Aboard Roosevelt Train, Springfield, O., Oct. 18.—A freight train

The campaign special was shunted to

Indianapolis, Oct. 18.—Congestion
of transportation is the indirect cause
of the steady advance in the price
of foodstuffs H. E. Stockbridge, Atlanta, Ga., president of the Farmers'
National congress, told the United
Press today.
"Our distribution system is faulty,"
said Mr. Stockbridge. "In one place
some elass of food is abundant and
the price is low and in another place
it is impossible to purchase the same
product at a reasonable price.
"Railroad officials say that it is
'shortage of cars.' But lt is really
a congested condition of transportation facilities."
The farmers are planning to go to
congress to get relief for the car
shortage. A federal Investigation
may be asked.
Stockbridge pointed out that last
summer farmers of the wheat belt
had to pile millions of bushels of
wheat on the ground because they
were unable to get cars to ship it.
